MR forums question

Being banned means that the IP of that user has been blocked, if not the series of IP addresses, so you don't want to be that.

Being a guest means that you are not registered, these days on MR, you can't post without being registered.

 

Yeah if your a guest... well it doesn't happen anymore so you can see how rare it is.

 

The only time that I saw banned under someone's names was yesterday. I don't think I've ever noticed guest!

 

I believe the status of 'guest' also occurs when the user account of an individual has been deleted.

 

this happened to me once

and i also was two different handles at one time....but briefly way back when

 

I though I remember a time where a person could be un-registered and post, it was wayy back tho.

Screen name
Guest

Anyone, i though that was how it was...

 

that's how it was before one of the big events drew tons more people posting and so arn added the registration requirement.

 

Yes.

Excellent, I knew that that had happened in the past.

Just shows how old I am.
